The wealthy Bramleigh family, newly rich from banking, settles into the grand Irish house built by an eccentric eighteenth-century bishop and known locally as the Bishop’s Folly. Croquet, hunts, letters from the formidable Lady Augusta and the arrival of a great man give way to a challenge to the family’s fortune that sends them abroad to Italy.
